Several prominent leaders of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), including Omar Ayub Khan, were detained by police in Rawalpindi on Thursday. The arrests also included senior PTI figures such as Raja Basharat, Ahmed Chattha, and Azim-ud-Din.
According to PTI lawyer Rana Mudassar, Omar Ayub and Raja Basharat were taken into custody at a check post outside Adiala Jail. The specific charges against these political leaders remain undisclosed. Mudassar emphasized the lack of clarity regarding the reasons for their arrests and suggested that further details are expected to emerge.
The arrests come amid heightened political tension in the country, with PTI leaders frequently being targeted. Party members have expressed concern over what they describe as an ongoing crackdown against opposition figures. The incident has further fueled speculation about the motives behind the arrests and the current political climate in Pakistan.
As developments unfold, the PTI leadership has called for transparency and the immediate release of their detained colleagues, raising questions about the legitimacy of the actions taken by law enforcement agencies.
